Here's what the humans have to say about me:
RIVER***CONTACT KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com RIVER---TWO GREAT BREEDS, ONE "GREAT" FELLOW!!! A "COMPANION"--LOVING--BEAUTIFUL!!!" RIVER IS A GORGEOUS, 2 YEAR OLD, 40-45 LB., BORDER COLLIE/AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD WHAT A GRAND COMBINATION!!. WHEN YOU FIRST SEE RIVER HE WILL STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. HIS COAT IS JUST STRIKING "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK, HIGHLIGHTED WITH A SPARKLING GLACIER WHITE SPLASH ON HIS CHEST, BETTER GRAB YOUR SUNGLASSES WHEN YOU SEE THIS PUP'S COAT, IT IS SO GLOSSY AND SHINY IT LOOKS LIKE RIVER JUST JUMPED OUT OF A POOL OF WATER. YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB RIVER THE MINUTE YOU SEE HIM AND AS MUCH AS THIS "LOVE ME" PUP ADORES ATTENTION AND AFFECTION IT'S JUST FINE WITH HIM. HIS FACE HAS SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN, THEY ARE A GORGEOUS, SOFT CHESTNUT COLOR THEY SPARKLE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN RIVER FIRST SEES YOU. NOT ONLY A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL FELLOW JUST WAIT TIL YOU MEET HIM YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A TON MORE TO RIVER THEN JUST A PRETTY FACE.(ALTHOUGH HIS FACE TRULY IS PRETTY) HE IS A TRUE "COMPANION", DEEPLY AFFECTIONATE, SO FRIENDLY, SOCIAL AND EXTREMELY LOVING, A PUP THAT LOVES TO PLEASE. TRUE TO THE BORDER COLLIE & AUSSIE BREEDS HE HAS A GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, TRAITS THAT HAVE ENDEARED THESE BREEDS TO FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS. JUST CALL HIS NAME AND OVER TO YOU HE'S COMING, HE WILL COME AND SIT AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET, LOOKING AT YOU WITH THOSE DREAMY EYES ASKING FOR A PAT OR A RUB WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUSE. HE IS A PUP WHO SOAKS UP EVERY MINUTE WHEN GIVEN, HUGS, LOVE AND ATTENTION. HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. HE IS ALSO OUR "AMBASSADOR OF GOODWILL" WHO ADORES EVERYONE HE MEETS AND DOGS, YOUNG, OLD, BIG OR SMALL, HIS IMMEDIATE NEW BEST FRIEND. IN FACT RIVER SPENDS HIS DAYS PLAYING WITH SEVERAL OF OUR OTHER RESCUE DOGS, TO WATCH RIVER AND HIS BEST DOG BUDDIES RUN AND PLAY WILL INDEED BRING A HUGE SMILE TO YOUR FACE(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS)RIVER IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST AND MOST LOVING PUPS WE HAVE SEEN, THIS PUP IS HAPPY ALL THE TIME GREETING EVERYONE HE MEETS AND ALL DOGS WITH A TAIL WAG AND SPARKLING EYES. RIVER IS A PUP THAT YOU COULD TAKE ANYWHERE AND HE WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD, JUST GET USE TO BEING STARED AT WHEN FOLKS SEE HIM, HE IS A SHOW STOPPER!!. HE WOULD ADORE AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG, RIVER IS IN GREAT SHAPE, HE WALKS BEAUTIFULLY ON LEAD, A PUP WHO WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP. THIS PUP IN MOTIONS IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH, HE HAS A SMOOTH FLOWING GAIT, HIS COAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE FEATHERS BLOWING IN THE BREEZE WHEN RIVER MOVES, HE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS, BOY IS RIVER READY, HE ADORES THE OUTDOORS AND WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, CHASING ANY STICK YOU THREW HIM, PLAYING HIS FAVORITE GAME "FETCH", RIVER WILL RETRIEVE HIS BALL BRING IT BACK AND GIVE YOU HIS "THROW IT ONE MORE TIME" LOOK, IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUSE THAT FACE!!. THERE IS ONE MORE PART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE, THE BORDER COLLIE AND AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS ARE TWO OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT OF BREEDS AND RIVER HAS INTELLIGENT COVERED, THIS PUP IS SMART!!!!! HE IS EAGER TO LEARN, LEARNS INCREDIBLY FAST, FINDS ANYTHING YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO EXCITING AND A CHALLENGE. HIS EXPRESSION IS LIVELY, INQUISITIVE WITH A "WHAT IS IT??" LOOK. AT DAY'S END AFTER RIVER HAS SPENT THE DAY PLAYING WITH A BUDDY, TAKING A LONG WALK AND HELPED YOU RUN ERRANDS WHEN HE COMES INTO HIS HOME, HE CONTINUES TO SHINE. WHEN YOU SETTLE IN TO READ OR WATCH A MOVIE YOU WILL FIND RIVER CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, NAPPING CONTENT AND HAPPY, HE IS WITH HIS FAMILY AND TO RIVER IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THAT. AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH RIVER WE FEEL THAT HE WOULD BE A PERFECT ADDITION TO THE LIFE OF A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE, OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THE ULTIMATE "COMPANION", THEIR BEST FRIEND. WE HAVE LEARNED THIS GORGEOUS GUY WITH HIS "I LOVE YOU" EXPRESSION IS A TREASURE AND WILL SHOWER HIS FAMILY WITH TAIL WAGS, KISSES, AND TONS OF LOVE EVERYDAY HE IS A PART OF THEIR LIFE. HE IS A PUP THAT IS FAITHFUL, LOVES UNCONDITIONALLY AND FOREVER. RIVER JUST WANTS TO KNOW THAT WHEN HE SNUGGLES IN AT NIGHT ON HIS BIG FLUFFY BED THAT THE LAST THING HE WILL HEAR SPOKEN TO HIM IS "RIVER WE LOVE YOU" AND HE WILL LIFT HIS GORGEOUS HEAD, BLINK THOSE DREAMY EYES, WAG HIS FLUFFY TAIL AND YOU CAN BET THIS IS HIS WAY OF SAYING "I LOVE YOU TOO" AND HE WILL DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP CONTENT AND HAPPY, HIS WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED HE HAS HIS FAMILY AND IS LOVED.
